Corby

Corby, for example, is home to dozens of towering "mega-sheds", including Europa's worldwide HQ and Nike's forthcoming logistics campus.

Speak to people in Corby town centre about warehouses and a theme soon emerges.

"Those areas with warehouses near homes in Corby and Nacton have been nominated as industrial land, so it's easier to get planning permission, and we're finding in East Anglia there just isn't enough industrial land."

But more than 40 years ago, a similar vision was announced just outside Corby, Northamptonshire.

The attraction was described as the "equivalent of America's Disneyland", and it was supposed to be an answer to unemployment in Corby following the 1980 closure of the steelworks, which led to 10,000 job losses and left nearly a third of the town out of work.
